You are going on an expedition to dig for dinosaur fossils. In digging you come across a small trunk left by another archeologis

t. In the trunk is a paper that lists how deep you need to dig to reach dinosaur fossils. Unfortunately, something spilled on part of the paper and it is damaged.
Using your knowledge of mathematics, find the missing numbers in the
chart. Write a generalization or rule to determine any number of feet you
must dig given the number of years.

If the Jurassic period was 200 million years ago, how deep would you need
to dig at this location to uncover fossils of that era? Explain why your
answer is or is not reasonable.

Answer:

200,000 feet to dig

Step-by-step explanation:

We use a ratio for this problem

30,000         200,000,000

-----------   =   ---------------------

30                        x

200,000,000 * 30

----------------------------  = 200,000 feet to dig

30,000

This answer is reasonable because 200,000,000 years ago was a long time ago so then the person must dig a reasonable amount of dirt. So then 200,000 feet is reasonable.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar polygons have the ratio of their corresponding sides equal to each other. There:

9/z = 6/2

Cross multiply

z*6 = 9*2

6z = 18

z = 18/6

z = 3
